Introducing the New Feature!!

Seems like most of our speculations in GB’s post below were correct!! The new feature that’s coming soon is Poptropica Friends!!

It’s a combination of friending people, the Pop quiz, the photos, and the Costume Closet in one! So if you guessed one, or even most, of these items, you were correct! 😀

Soon you’ll be able to make friends with the people you meet in Poptropica! You can follow their adventures in the game, and show off your own accomplishments. You’ll create a unique personality profile to share with the world. When you play through Islands, you’ll earn photos that mark your achievements in the game. Members will have access to a costume closet that lets you store as many as 30 individual costumes!

You’ll find all this and more with Poptropica friends. Keep an eye out here for more information, including when you can start using these new features!

Recap of the Video:

  • FriendsIf you want to add friends, click on the person, and then the friend button! (It also shows the country they’re from) Or if you know your friend’s username, you can add that! Ex: Monstercarnival2012, this yields a character named Monster Carnival wearing a chicken suit! (pictured below, thanks Flamez) I wonder….

It also occurred to me, if we can add usernames, we can add the Creators as our friends! 😀

  • Costume Closet ~ It’s a scroll on your Profile page that, based on the post, is available for members. It can store up to 30 costumes, and to costumize it, just click on it! You can also share your costumes with friends!
  • Photo Album ~ As you play the islands, once you get to an important milestone, you get a picture!
  • Pop Quiz~ When you log in, you can answer questions that match your personality. You’ll see more of your personality on your profile the more you answer!  You can also see what your friends answered in the same window under “Recent Activity”

Poptropica Friends:  coming soon!! One more thing: That video was posted onto Youtube on March 7. 😉

The Twisted Thicket release date has been announced! So when can you play Twisted Thicket?

Inquiring Poptropicans want to know, and now we’re happy to announce that Twisted Thicket will be available for Poptropica Members starting next Thursday, April 12.

You can follow along with the countdown on the Poptropica homepage, or check right here for the latest updates. You’ll be in the thick of things before you know it!

April 12! That’s about a week away! So get ready for this adventure! 🙂

PHC chatter Max has taken screenies of the sneak peeks from Daily Pop and has a theory that they could all be from the same island! What do you think?

Another PHC chatgoer, Hawk/Rough Raptor was cruising the Avatar Studio and discovered a Poptropican….that was holding….SURPRISE! A DOG. YES, A DOG! See for yourself. 😮

The character does look like a diva anyway, but how did she get the dog? EDIT: Barbie ad!Interesting…. Leave your thoughts about this in the comments!

~~~

And lastly, LS has notified us 2 new ads in Poptropica! The first one is an Adventure Time video advertisement. If you watch the video, you can get the Finn costume!

The second ad is also an Adventure Time ad, but it’s a quest! You have to get to the top of the treehouse before the fire burns it down! Your prizes are the Fire Monster Power and the Flambo follower! I found it on one of my younger accounts on Great Pumpkin. LS found it on Early Pop.

~~~

One last thing: Have you guys noticed the loss of the Costume Collector in the Store? Do you think they’re replacing this with the Costume Closets? Leave ideas in the comments! Well, this has been the end of Poptropica News for tonight! This has been ST! 😀

Bonus Items, Store

Dat Nose

About those noses.. thankfully, that was just an April Fool’s prank. 

This goofy prank, which probably scared most of you, is not a mandatory thing. In fact, you have the power to make it optional. These hideous fake noses could now be found in the store, so you could look silly the entire year – not just April 1st. That day is just an excuse to be prankful ( which is not a real word ).

What could the next April Fools prank be? Maybe we could have ears, or turn into super villains, or they make our Poptropican the opposite gender or something. Anyway it is, the Creators have proved that they still have their childish side.

By the way, if you want something funny to read, Party with Hobos is in the middle of its ninth season and so far it’s great!

Store

Do you like waffles? Yeah we like waffles!

Well good cause in honour of ‘International waffles day’  the creators have released the new waffles costumes in the poptropica store.

Cue PCB post!

Waffles, tasty waffles!

 
Did you know that today is International Waffle Day? Did you further know that there’s a new costume in the store which celebrates it? You do now!

Boys can pick up the square waffle costume, while girls can get the stylish round waffle costume. Both look tasty to me, but it appears that the house pets of Poptropica disapprove.

Head to Poptropica and visit the Poptropica Store to get your waffle costume!

BLACK WIDOW

Woah. Another costume made from food. Let’s see that makes…
 
  1. Fries packet
  2. Ice cream
  3. The burger
  4. Soft drink/soda
  5. The chicken (even if it is raw and still alive 😉  )
  6. Hot dog
  7. Tofu dog
  8. Cherry Pie
  9. Lemon meringue pie (YUUMMM)
  10. Mud pie (Do not eat)
  11. The waffle.

With all these costumes made out of food, it must take considerable control from poptropicans to not eat each other.

 

Despite the lack of cream on my head, it's a surprise that a bite or two hasn't been taken out of this lemon mirangue pie.
